Create an account nickname

We know it’s hard trying to remember your account numbers and telling your accounts apart, which is why we give the option of giving your account a nickname.

Choose a name that you’ll easily recognize and then you’ll see that nickname next to your account wherever it appears. So, for example, if you’re setting up a separate account to save for a vacation, you could nickname the account Vacation.

To give your account a new nickname or modify an existing one, follow these steps:

1. Sign in to capitalone.com
2. Click on your user icon in the upper right hand corner.
3. Click on Account & Feature Settings.
4. In the Account Display Options section, click on the pencil icon for the account you want to give the nickname to.
5. Enter a nickname for your account in the Nickname field.
6. Click on Save to save your nickname.
